Amphibious Cargo Buggies

4.1 Brief Introduction

Cargo Buggy or Cargo Buggies, also called marsh buggy, marsh buggies, swamp
buggy, swamp buggies, amphibious transporters, swamp transporter, swamp carrier
or amphibious carriers etc, is a multifunctional machine that could fulfill a
multitude of needs while operating in otherwise inaccessible marshy areas,
wetlands, dry lands or open water. The machine consists of an undercarriage
(pontoons) and an upper structure (cab, engine and platform). On the platform,
it is equipped with a winch and crane. This innovative engineering leads the way
to pulling or carrying various objects such as loaded slide pontoons, winching
pipe and cable, carrying cable reels, pulling cable plows and carrying drilling
equipment. It can also be used extensively in soil boring and surveying as well
as in transporting personnel and equipment.

The Buggy has a payload capacity from 22046lbs to 22069lbs and a platform or
deck area measuring 14 feet wide and 16 feet long. It can be fitted with a
44092lbs winch with 164ft cable. SUNTON now has 3 kinds of traveling system
equipped to the pontoons, including normal tracks, heavy duty tracks and solid
rubber tires track system. With the heavy duty tracks, the machine could travel
long time without much wearing on the hard surfaces. With the rubber tire track
system, the quickest traveling speed could reach 10km/h.

The upper structure (cabin and engine) can be transported separately from the
undercarriage (pontoons). The assembly of the machine is very easy. When the
pontoons are placed, the upper structure can be simply mounted. For an
operational machine only the cables to the drive motors needs to be connected.
The assembly of the machine can be done within one hour.

SUNTON could design any size amphibious carrier or marsh buggy fully customized and built with kinds of attachment. SUNTON could also design the appropriate amphibious undercarriages for heavy duty equipments as drill rig, dragline or dump truck, dumper etc. Every amphibious carrier is carefully considered as to where and how it will be operated due to the many different payloads, mast lengths for drilling, terrain, dimensions of equipment, auxiliary components, and personnel working on decks.

When it's to be shipped by container ship, the machine is usually
disassembled into 3 main parts in advance and loaded to the containers for ocean
or long-distance shipment. In usual, one set medium size amphibious excavator
usually uses 2x40'GPs plus 1x40’FR for shipment. When customer receives it, he
will need one or two hours to reassemble it with help of one set 20-25tons crane
and 2-3 persons at site.

If customer wants to receive a complete machine without being dismantled,
just consider to ship it by bulk carrier or RO/RO ship. But we would like to
remind the customer to pay attention to his local legal limit on the in-land
transportation size firstly and then to determine which kind of ship to be
selected. The transportation size of a complete set of amphibious excavator
without disassembly is usual beyond the in-land transportation limit. If
customer insists on shipping the machine without disassembly, he could
disassemble it for in-land transportation on the port after he receives it on
the destination port.

In view of our experiences, the most cost-effective way to ship the machine
is to disassemble it and ship the parts by bulk ship, but the shortcoming is
that most bulk ships usually have only one shift in a month, much less than the
container ships, which means the shipping time usually cost much more than
container ships. Container ship and RO-RO ship shall be more or less same
expensive but less shipping-time cost.
